After the usual animated reception and lunch, Frans Rolf gave a very engaging talk about his dream. Over 2 years ago, he sold a significant part of his consulting business. This gave him time and money. For many years, he travelled around Europe with his family in a rented caravan during the holidays. Every year a different (new) caravan brought him to the conclusion that the concept of the caravan could be better. He designed and built the prototype of a new concept himself: Trarlor 630.In his presentation, Frans Rolf clearly presented the technical and practical (comfort) considerations and preconditions the concept had to meet. This was supported by calculations and studies on, among other things, load point, trailer wheelbase and choice of tractor. A separate phenomenon was the quick approval from the National Road Administration to get on the road. (5 months). After the lecture, the tractor with semi-trailer could be thoroughly viewed and tested inside and out. With the exception of 4 hours of welding, Frans Rolf designed and built everything himself, including the installations. The enthusiasm and solidity of the design struck a chord with the 23 attendees, who stayed for a long chat with Frans Rolf.
